[Ab] A long, [Fm] long time ago, [Bbm]
I can [Db] still remember how [Fm] that music used [Eb] to make me smile
_ And [Ab] I knew that if I [Fm] had my chance, [Bbm]
I could make [Db] those people dance
[Fm] And maybe they'd [Db] be happy [Ab] for a while
[Eb] _

_ _ [Ab] _ Did you [Bbm] write the book of love?
And [Db] do you have faith [Bbm] in God _ [Fm] above?
If the Bible [Eb] tells you so
_ Now [Ab] do you [Cm] believe [Fm] in rock and roll?
[Bbm] And can music [Db] save your mortal soul?
[Fm] And can you teach [Bb] me how to dance [Eb] real slow?
[Ab] _ _ [Cm] Well [Fm] I know that [Eb] you're in love with him, cause [Fm] I saw you dancing [Eb] in the gym
[Db] You both [Ab] kicked off [Bbm] your shoes, _ and it [Db] kicked off rhythm [Eb] and blues
I [Ab] was a lonely [Cm] _ [Fm] teenage, grumpy mug, [Bbm] with a pink carnation [Db] and a pick up truck
But [Ab] I knew [Eb] that I [Fm] was out of luck, [Db] the day [Eb] the _ music [Ab] _
[Db] died
_ [Ab] I [Eb] started singing, [Ab] bye [Db] bye [Ab] Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy [Db] to Bulevi, [Ab] but Bulevi was dry
And good [Db] old boys were [Ab] drinking whiskey [Eb] and rye
[Fm] Singing, this will be the day that [Bb] I die, _ [Fm] this will be the day that [Eb] I die
_ [Cm] _
I [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Ab] met a girl [Ebm] who [Bbm] sang the [Db] blues, and I asked her for [Bbm] some happy news
[Ab] But she just [Eb] smiled and turned away
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ Well [Ab] I went [Cm] down to [Fm] the sacred store, [Bbm] where I'd heard the music years [Db] before
[Fm] But the man there [Bb] said the music _ [Eb] wouldn't play
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Well [Fm] now in the streets, [Eb] the children scream, [Fm] the lovers cry, [Eb] and the poets dream
_ [Db] But [Ab] not a word [Bbm] for spoken, _ [Db] the church bells are [Eb] broken
I [Ab] am a free man, I [Fm] admire the most, [Bbm] the father, son, [Db] and the holy ghost
[Ab] They [Eb] caught the last [Fm] train for the coast, the [Db] _
day [Eb] the _ music [Ab] _
[Db] died
_ [Ab] We [Eb] started singing, [Ab] bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy [Db] to Bulevi, but [Ab] Bulevi [Eb] was dry
[Ab] And good old [Db] boys were [Ab] drinking whiskey [Eb] and rye
[Fm] Singing, this will be the day that [Bb] I die, _ _ [Fm] this will be the day that [Eb] I _ die _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Drove [Ab] my Chevy [Db] to Bulevi, [Ab] but Bulevi [Eb] was dry
[Ab] And good old [Db] boys were [Ab] drinking whiskey [Eb] and rye
[Fm] Singing, this will be the day that [Bb] I die, [F] this [Fm] will be the day that [Eb] I die
